Business Hall of Fame Inductee Pooki’s Mahi announced today its Pay It Forward and Give Back goals focusing on organizations and charities giving back to the local communities. Pooki’s Mahi works with organizations that pay it forward in its supply chain ecosystem.

“As a start-up it is rare and challenging to pay it forward or give back to the local community. A key trait I look for in Pooki’s Mahi’s suppliers (as part of Pooki’s Mahi’s supply chain ecosystem) is a plan to help the local community and how well they execute against it. Partnerships are a two-way street,” says Les Magsalay-Zeller, Founder/CEO of Pooki’s Mahi.

She explains, “I believe you should always thank those who helped you become successful and pay it forward to the local community. This does not mean you give away all your products (free loader effect). As a member of Half Moon Bay’s Women’s Golf Club I’ve met some incredible and accomplished women. In the past I’ve gifted several technology themed gifts. Since last year the focus is on food and gourmet products. Attendees are treated to our newly launched products. In return they’ll provide feedback. Everyone benefits.”

Each Nadia Gift Charity & Golf Tournament attendee is treated to a curated gift set valued at $150-$200:
